Description of  Mechanics of Materials: A Friendly Approach

9811248451 pdf B0BFH46L6Q pdf The knowledge of mechanics of materials is the very foundation for advanced topics in mechanical, civil, aerospace, chemical, ceramic engineering and materials science.This comprehensive book presents materials with a three-dimensional approach rather than two-dimensional analysis adopted by existing books. It develops the required background thoroughly before basic elements such as stress and strain tensors are formulated. The presentation is richly filled with anecdotes, illustrations and solved examples. Special care has been taken to carry out algebra and the derivations in small digestible steps.This useful reference text largely meets the requirements of computer-aided engineering (CAE) softwares which are widely used in industrial-sector and research & development laboratories to design structural members.Contents:Getting into a New Ball GameGetting into a New Ball GameForces, Moments, and EquilibriumForces, Moments, and EquilibriumReactions and Free Body DiagramsReactions and Free Body DiagramsInternal Forces in Slender MembersInternal Forces in Slender MembersStress TensorStress TensorTransformation of Stress ComponentsTransformation of Stress ComponentsDeformation and Strain TensorDeformation and Strain TensorMaterial Behavior: Stress–Strain RelationsMaterial Behavior: Stress–Strain RelationsAxial Members: Stresses, Thermal Strains, and CompatibilityAxial Members: Stresses, Thermal Strains, and CompatibilityBending Moments and Shear ForcesBending Moments and Shear ForcesDeflection due to BendingDeflection due to BendingTorsionTorsionCombined Stresses and Yield CriteriaCombined Stresses and Yield CriteriaEnergy MethodsEnergy MethodsHistorical PerspectiveHistorical PerspectiveReadership: Researchers, professionals, academics, undergraduate and graduate students in mechanical engineering, civil engineering, aerospace engineering, materials science and chemical engineering.
